Over a meatless sausage option. https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2022/08/03/cracker-barrel-impossible-sausage/ I also learned from this article that they entered into a consent decree in the 90s over segregating customers in the dining room.
They used to ban gay people from working there. They are making progress, just often kicking and screaming. Imagine people being upset at having more dietary options. Is there something in the Bible I missed about plant-based meat substitutes?
Yeah they’ve had a long history of troublesome incidents, which I would assume is less a function of the company itself and more of the geography of their locations, especially in their earlier years.
I know that nothing pisses me off more than a restaurant adding a menu item that I don’t intend to order.
If anything, people should be upset about the lack of seasoning on the food. I do like the country fried steak, but it's like they are rationing salt and pepper, lol.
Total BS that anybody would let politics determine what they eat......I still eat Aunt Jemima pancakes. If I feel like eating at Cracker Barrel I will still eat there, just won't eat the stuff I don't like.
If enough people want a meatless option that it makes the company money, all power to them. It's pretty silly that people are up in arms about that. Now this is something I'll get mad about damnit! Don't take away my salt and pepper! And go back to the way you used to do gravy, CB! It's awful by the standards it used to be.
LOL… people are calling Cracker Barrel “woke” for plant-based sausage…. When will DeSantis step in to stop this travesty?
Woke meat is really upsetting for some….. “All the more reason to stop eating at Cracker Barrel. This is not what Cracker Barrel was to be all about,” “I just lost respect for a once great Tennessee company,” “If I wanted a salad … I would in fact order a salad … stop with the plant based ‘meat’ crap,”
The “plant based meat” is kind of crap if we are being honest, but the point of it is to cater to people who want “real meat taste” while substituting out the meat. I’ve tried a few and they do accomplish that on the taste front (they do pretty good at mimicking the texture and flavor). They just aren’t healthy. I’m not a vegetarian, but if I want a “plant based burger” I’d rather just have a veggie burger. I guess this is for people who really hate veggies.
I had an impossible whopper once, it wasn’t worth it to me, but I thought it was the closest they’ve come to meat substitutes. Way better than the “garden burgers” of the past, anyway. I can see why they have a market for it.
I guess these products aren’t for me because while I’m not a vegetarian, I actually like mixing in a veggie burger once in awhile. If I wanted to be a vegetarian I could probably live with that. I don’t need “plant based meat”.
The thing that doesn’t make it worth to me is that there isn’t much of a calorie difference, which surprised me. An impossible whooper is 30 calories less than a regular whopper.
Snowflake control freaks. Don't want it? Don't order it. Why does it bother you that it is an option for others? That same principle applies to other arenas as well.
Pretty silly. If you don't want plant sausage patties, order meat sausage patties. Otherwise no big deal.
Perhaps they can set aside a special "Maga Menu" so as not to offend the snowflakes who want to tell others what they can order.
Plant based burgers aren't necessarily supposed to be healthier, nor are they supposed to be vegan or vegetarian. It's supposed to be an environmentally focused option. People got pissed at Burger King because they found out after eating one that the impossible whopper wasn't vegan, and Burger King was like we never said it was vegan.
